Zone Conference and more


How is it going family?

This week was pretty busy we had our Zone Conference on Wednesday which went really good. The new focus is really on using members and focusing on part-member families if possible. We saw a lot of less actives this week and our main focus is finding new investigators through them. We figure if they are less active then the people they most likely hang out with aren't active or members at all or else they would come. So we are in finding mode for sure. This Sunday we also had our Stake conference here it was really good except for all the noisy kids but what ya gonna do about it. We had the Stake President, 2nd councilor in the Louisville temple Presidency, President Woodbury, and a general authority, Elder Burns, all speak. So the talks varied widely with each having a different focus but they were all good as well. The weather here has been amazing except for the crazy wind, Tough to bike in wind.

 Well Love all of you and hope you have an amazing week.


Love you all,

Another cooler week...

Well the weather has definitely been better this week with the coolness. It is raining a bit today but that's better than the crazy heat and humidity. Well it was a rougher week this week a lot of our plans fell through but that happens quite often in this field of work that I'm engaged in unfortunately. This week I was able to have an intelligent conversation with a couple of JW's that just kept asking about the 2nd coming and what we believe will happen. I was surprised by how much I've truly learned out here. Before the mission I would have had no idea what to say but now I guess the study is really starting to pay off. It is a lot different being a trainer. You are the one they look to, to answer most questions but it has been a good growing experience thus far for sure. It seemed like we had a few lessons this week where people just wanted to discuss what we believe and then give their view point but surprisingly we didn't have any heated bible bashes as we call it. That is a good thing bible bashes are no fun and you can never win even if you do prove them wrong. It just create an environment for the spirit to testify of truth. So if people ever want to argue just start baring your testimony because they can't argue with what you know to be true and your belief. This week was also our primary program here. It was alright nothing too crazy.
 
love ya,
